We initially did not purchase window seats for this dinner cruise. On the day of the event, I called up to upgrade to window seats and I was told we could not upgrade to window seats but that there were 8 different window seats available and that we should arrive early if we wanted our seats to be upgraded to window seats.
We were one of the first people on the boat and I requested that the person seating us upgrade our reservation to window seats. He said that we were the first group requesting this and that if a window seat was open, we would be the first group (we were only 2 people) upgraded. After we were seated at our non-window seats, another couple came on and, even though they were directed to their non-window seats, they move and took the available window seat. The same person that told us that we would be the first group upgraded to window seats went over and moved the other couple from the window seats and made them sit at their non-window seats - which were ironically right next to us.
No one was ever seated at the available window seats during general boarding. After boarding was completed, the other couple was moved to the window seats and we were never offered window seats.
I feel this was wrong for three reasons. First, the person seating everyone promised us that if anyone was upgraded to window seats, it would be us because we were the first group that requested an upgrade. This company's representatives should not be making promises that they don't keep.
Second, the other couple tried to take the table with window seats without asking anyone. While they were initially stopped, they eventually got the window seat (over us) even though we properly requested (and we were promised) the window seats. So your company is rewarding them for trying to take the seats themselves and penalizing us for trying to obtain the window seats the proper way.
Third, I hate to say that race was a factor in this, but the person seating people and the people that were seated at the window seats were of the same race. Neither I, nor my companion, were of that race. Your company should not be favoring one race over another.

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Hi there Irene and Steven,
I want to apologize for any disappointments experienced on your Dinner Cruise, and thank you for bringing this to our attention and sharing your experience!
I spoke with the cruise line regarding your reservation, and the request for a window seat. Customers are welcome to upgrade their reservation to a window seat directly through our cruise partner. They did informed us that the only way to guarantee a window seat is through the purchase of the window seat upgrade. I cannot speak to the conversation you had when discussing the window seating, but we do appreciate you letting us know, and will work with our partners to provide more clarification for guests wanting to upgrade their tickets. We are incredibly sorry if this was not clearly communicated, and if someone incorrectly advised you that an early arrival would equate to a window seat.
While it is worth asking for, last minute window seating is not guaranteed without purchase of the upgrade, and is, as you mentioned, first come first serve depending on availability. Our partners let us know that while the crew on board does aim to accommodate all requests, there may have been multiple requests to various crew members that day which led to a bit of confusion as to which customers were the primary request.
Our cruise partners are usually so wonderful, and we are very sorry that the request was not addressed as promised. They work diligently to serve all guests with excellence, and extend their apologies if this was not the case on your cruise.
Additionally, it seems that there may have been some over-eager guests aboard that were willing to break the rules to snag different seating. We appreciate your cooperation with the crew members, and for being so courteous to other guests. It truly speaks to your character as wonderful people!
Please note, we have placed a $50.00 credit in you Cloud 9 Living account. You can access this by logging into your Cloud 9 Living account, then clicking "My Vouchers." We look forward to getting you out on another experience soon!
Best,
Sophia

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Thanks for writing in about your lunch cruise. I'm sorry to hear the weather wasn't the most cooperative while you were out on the water. Despite that, I'm glad you had great service and hopefully had great company on board.
Please, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy your weekend!
Best,
Brooke

It was great! So much historical information from our guide. Excellent food! We were very filled after trip. Nice congenial small group in a comfortable electric car with 6 doors for easy access in and out. Would highly recommend.

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Hi Susan, That's just what we want to hear! A little history, fun people, and good food - what more could you ask for? Best, Inah

My husband and I scheduled our cruise on what happened to be a super rainy day. The staff was nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, We were not able to enjoy the indoor portion of the second floor, due to a scheduled wedding. It limited what where we could go on the boat - and because it was raining outside - we weren't able to fully enjoy the decks. Food was great and drinks were tasty!

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry to hear Mother Nature wasn't the most cooperative during your cruise. Despite the crummy weather, that's great to hear you had accommodating service and delicious food. We would love to get you out on a better day, so I have added $25 to your Cloud 9 Living account for a future experience.
Best,
Brooke

Food was great/ staff courteous and polite but was expecting more. Narration of the history of Baltimore as we cruised and saw scenes, games after eating or something besides food and music! We have been on similar cruises and do much more is possible.

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry to hear that the cruise missed its mark in regards to your expectations. This cruise does only offer lunch and musical entertainment on board, but I will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team to see if we can better address this in our description.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had great service, though. Please note that I have placed $25 in your Cloud 9 Living account to use towards another experience.
Best,
Brooke

Fantastic guide! Griffin was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. He knew stories and history about the Annapolis area that I had never of. The food was excellent, but a little rich. We want to go back and try some of the restaurants for dinner.

Okay. They need to tidy up the ship inside. Second floor not used but for a couple of games and walking through to get to top deck. That is okay but should make it presentable. Doors open where things are stored. Extra chafing dishes laying around.

We had an awesome time on the Seafood Crawl! Our tour guide, Griffin was very knowledgeable and took us to three great locations for food. Since he is from Annapolis, we had an inside look at some of the best places to go and found out interesting facts about the town. We highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Tour guide (Jules) has an upbeat, enthusiastic and infectious personality! We thoroughly enjoyed her stories along the way and we were impressed with her knowledge of and love for the city of Baltimore. As well, she has the ability to tailor her tour to the specific interests of those in attendance. There were only 4 of us on this tour, and both couples were local. She supported lots of storytelling and sharing of information.
We had a delightful experience and learned a lot about the city! Great people and fantastic weather made for a super Cloud 9 Living experience! Thank you!

Our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Carolyn, met us promptly for a full afternoon walking excursion --- the Annapolis Food and Historical Tour. It was a great combination of interesting historical information and sites in downtown Annapolis, interspersed with several stops at local eating establishments. The food was delicious and plentiful.

The Fells Point Food Tour was an absolute delight! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and showed us a very good time. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning more about this wonderful neighborhood and its many restaurants.

My husband and I had a great time on our tour of Little Italy in Baltimore. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We have recommended Cloud 9 Living to several of our friends, and we will definitely be taking another tour in Baltimore again!!

Our tour guide, Carolyn, was very sweet and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour very much. Just the right amount of history for the tour. All the restaurants were great except for the Middleton Tavern and what we ate. They only served 1 shrimp the size of my thumb and 1 tiny oyster in a cup -- you had a choice. This was, in my opinion, a waste. Loved hearing the history, and I am not sure if it was the owner or manager who came over and spoke to us... He was very friendly but the quantity of food was ridiculous. They could of served something more. They did have a 4-oz. cup of beer which was refreshing. You need to evaluate the portion of food served. If the shrimp or oyster was too expensive to serve they need to choose something else. All other restaurants were great!

The Little Italy Food Tour was a really great experience for my family. The guide, Nick, was extremely knowledgeable and fun!! The food was plentiful and delicious. And, on top of that, I learned so many new facts about my own city. Just a great day -- can't wait to do another tour!

It was a very nice night!! And our waitress was a singer... wish I remembered her name!! She was great. We took our grandchildren and they had a great experience. Even at the end (getting off the boat) one said wow. The cookie is really fresh and warm, so cute!! We all enjoyed the night!!

Not as advertised, but it was still awesome! This was our first food tour, and we didn't really know what to expect. Our tour guide was great! She had a great personality and shared some interesting stories with us at each historical stop besides the restaurants. She's been a tour guide for the some time and it showed. It was planned perfectly, and our group of 15 never had to wait to be seated at any of the restaurants. We had a delicious pizza appetizer at Red Red Wine Bar, then we had fresh Oyster shooters with beer at the second place. Then we had the best cream of crab soup and beer battered shrimp at Federal House. It wasn't until someone asked the tour guide about the Smith Island cake, sangria, popovers, and the coffee house that we found out none of that stuff is on the tour anymore. We didn't mind, though, because all the food we had was great. After Federal House we made a quick stop at a popcorn shop, and then we had our choice of 2 tacos each from Vida Taco Bar. For desert we had some homemade ice cream from Annapolis Ice Cream Co. By the time the tour was over, we were stuffed. Overall good time and great value!

Our tour guide, Timmy, was super knowledgeable which made the tour that much better. As someone who's lived in Baltimore for almost ten years, it was great to learn so much history in addition to the food. Timmy was funny and smart and answered everyone's questions without missing a beat. The only negative thing I can say about the tour was the email telling us where to meet had an incorrect address. Luckily the description of the lemonade stand got us to the right spot.

The food was excellent. Sam, the guide was outgoing and knowledgeable. The afternoon was very enjoyable. I would recommend this experience (and have already to several family and friends). Sam - thanks for a great afternoon!

Our guide, Timmy, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. The food was a little disappointing but that was probably because we're from the area and know many of the local restaurants, so went into this with inflated expectations. Timmy's historical knowledge made it more enjoyable for me. Would recommend this to others .

This experience allowed my husband and I to taste foods that we would not have purchased under regular circumstances. The guide was an absolute walking history book, which made the experience even more exciting! I would do this again and would definitely look at purchasing one for a friend.

We had a very small intimate group -- only 4 of us (2 couples) with the guide. We had THE BEST guide -- Carolyn. She was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. She made our tour so enjoyable. We had never been to Annapolis before, and I want to go back already! We absolutely loved this experience. Would highly recommend it to others too.

I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, and already have! We had a wonderful, fun, knowledgeable guide who really knew her stuff. We also met some great people within our group who really enhanced our experience. This was a fun, great way to get to know a city we had never visited before. We will definitely be booking this tour in other cities in the future!

My wife and I received the food tour as a gift from our children. While we have visited Annapolis, MD many times I left the food and history tour with a wealth of additional knowledge about the history of the city plus found some new places to eat. Our guide was extremely pleasant and very informed about the city.

We had a wonderful cruise. The crew was excellent & very helpful. My husband is somewhat handicapped and the crew were very helpful getting him to the upper deck. I would recommend it everyone. As former sailors on the Chesapeake Bay, it was great being on the water again. I would only recommend a better menu. The food left a bit to be desired. We are hoping to do another cruise with you next year.
Gail Umbarger

We had a great time. The food was excellent. Our tour guide was very personable, made the walking in between restaurants fun and interesting with facts about the history in the area. We have already talked about doing another tour in the future.

our 'little italy food tour' in baltimore was very entertaining. Our guide met us at the designated area. We visited 4 dining establishments on our walk. At each stop we enjoyed specialties of the house. Each restaurant provided us with a different sampling from the previous stop. The food samples were very tasty and filling. Our group was well fed at each restaurant.
our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city of baltimore and the little italy neighborhood. She took an interest in each person in the group by learning our names and asking us about our lives. The 3.5 hour tour went by very quickly.
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to taste the flavor of littly italy in baltimore.

We had an incredible time in Little Italy. Ambi was very friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. Besides the places that we had our meals, she took us around to show us other historic places in little Italy, I never would have thought were there. The amount of food that we got at each location was just right, and we never felt rushed to finish quickly or get to the next location. Everything was just perfect. We really enjoyed ourselves.

My boyfriend and I had an incredible time celebrating our one year anniversary aboard the Spirit of Baltimore! Every single staff member was beyond friendly, entertaining, and accomodating. This experience was a surprise for my boyfriend and he loved every minute! The food was fantastic, we definitely left stuffed to the gills...the music was awesome, never a dull moment on the dance floor...and the excellent staff members topped off the overall experience. Thank you again so much. I think we will be looking at other experiences through your site in the near future!

It is quite unfortunate that I have to leave this review. The customer service at Cloud 9 was exceptional, however, after that the experience goes down hill as fast as an avalanche. As you enter the cruise there are staff there pushing costly picture. After boarding dinner begins. The food was just horrible. Mushy vegitables, dry chicken, tasteless fish, powdered mashed potatoes. Even the salad was limp. The music was too loud and catered to a very young hip-hop crowd. We were so unimpressed that I wanted to get off before they even left port. My husband wanted us to stick it out for the sake of our anniversary. We did, only because the people who sat next to us were good company. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Lowe.
I would not recommend this cruise to anyone.

Our Annapolis guide was remarkable and she told us stories that were interesting, amusing and informative. The food stops were all wonderful and a lot of fun. I had been to Annapolis many times, but saw the city in a new perspective during this tour. This tour is great for visitors and locals.

I found our guide to be extremely friendly knowledgeable and entertaining. The restaurants were clean and the food was excellent. My husband and I had a very enjoable day. I've recommended the tour to several people.

I purchased the paddle and brew your for my husband as his 30th birthday present while I was on bed-rest with our second child. I wanted something fun for us to do together as a couple once the baby was born and I was strong enough again. ( but also not too far away from our infant). We had never paddled the Monacacy and It was a great experience! The river and rapids were great for all levels of experience. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The brew tour and beer at the end was perfect in a hot day! Thank you for a great birthday present for my husband and great memories.

I did a lunch cruise on the Spirit of Baltimore. It was fabulous. We were welcomed immediately by our server, the atmosphere was incredible. The food was delicious, the music great and the staff and crew friendly. I have already told my friends and i will be returning soon.

Jessica has a wonderful personality. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon with her and Michael in Little Italy. Jessica has a great relationship with the owners and staff of the restaurants we visited - an obvious mutual respect. We came away with renewed interest in the history of the area and the people therein. We were fortunate to also have Michael along. His extra knowledge of Italy and his fluent Italian was a plus for the day! We would (and have done so already) recommend this experience to others. Thank you.

The restaurants on the tour were top notch. Had I been visiting Fells Point on my own, I would have never stopped at any of the selected restaurants. We were able to sample many different varieties of food and each serving was huge!

Even though we live in the Baltimore area, we rarely go into the city. This was a great way to explore a bit, get a great history lesson and enjoy some fabulous food! We will definitely be back to some of the places we stopped. Our guide, Michael, was informative, and fun, while still being very professional, and we came away feeling as we had made a new friend.

Loud speaker system, to the point the waitress had to repeat several times what our experience would be and ask what we wanted to drink.
The entertainment was terrible. All waitress sang (screamed) a song as part of the entertainment. The sound system again. Not to fault the waitress, but they can't sing! Cheap entertainment to say the least.
The food was passible, but if I had my way (this was a gift, by the way), I would NOT recommend this to my worst enemy.

When we got there they had no idea what to do with the email we were told to provide. It took them about 20 mins to figure it out and get us our tickets. It was also advertised on Cloud 9 and on the email as a 3 hour cruise when it was actually only 2 hours. This made us a little disappointed right from the start.
The food was not that good either. I feel like it was not worth the money that was spent.

Mike, our guide, was very knowledgeable and great personality. The food selections were AWESOME! The combination of history and food was good. We enjoyed ourselves. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon.
